EBAY USER ID: silky_buddha We got the invite and are selling original movie art & Star Wars items.
We do not sell cheap repro & reprints. We sell only original art -- well, we do have copies, but these are copies made by the production and are vintage, production used art work. Our prices are less than what prop store sells art for -- i.e., an original pen, ink & marker concept sketch of Judge Hershey (in her Judge's uniform, with Lawblaster) sold for $89. That's screen used, original concept art which, at commercial movie prop/memorabilia sites, sells for over $400. We have Giger signed art. Not up, but to be listed, original art by Chris Foss for Flash Gordon... original storyboards & concept art by Alex Tavolouris, the first concept artist hired by Lucas for Star Wars... All original, not cheap repro... Of course, we had other items, like the British Quad Star Wars which --- got STOLEN!!!! -- anyone remember this story???? Missing Quad probably was sold by Heritage, but since we got 2 of each poster, our other Quad remains for ebay auction... Plus, a lot of high end items have sold at a BIN auction within 30 minutes of listing. Some within 5 minutes of listing. Of course, the 50K items does not apply to us because we are selling vintage items and end up paying UK listing fees anyway. There's no free lunch -- or at least, legal free lunches. ________________________________ From: John Waldman <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2012 8:29 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] eBay free listings I got the invite, but not to list 50,000 items. I haven't sold anything on Ebay for over a year. JW From: JOHN REID Vintage Movie Memorabilia <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 5:41 PM Subject: [MOPO] eBay free listings Hi MoPoers eBay currently has a promotion running where many sellers have been offerred up to 50,000 free auction listings for about nine days up until Aug 31. This has resulted in some sellers flooding the site with cheap repros and reprints. The crazy thing is that the offer has been sent "by invitation only" and it seems to have been done at random. Store sellers are not eligible so anyone who has a store would be seeing a big drop in sales while this promotion is on. Just curious as to whether any MoPo members received the invitation to list 50,000 items on auction.
